Tutorials

In this section we have created 3 tutorials to help OSOR users to easily contribute to a WIKI, a BLOG or a Forum.

Each community can set up their own wiki page(s).  Wikis are a great way to collect and organize information from many contributors. If you are subscribed to a community, you can also contribute to its wiki.

All OSOR services, from a user point of view, are all structured in the following way:

There are 2 type of users in the community, the facilitator/s that has/have the administration privileges and the users of the community or also called members. Below you find the main difference between the users and the facilitators profile:

• Facilitator/s of the community are in charge of the "animation" of the community activity and have the possibility to edit any contributions that a member of the community have done. Ultimately, if the facilitator/s finds the contribution irrelevant or not in the scope, the contribution can be deleted.
  
• Users instead, can contribute on whatever media is available on the Community of which the user is part of.
   
  

The below tutorials have taken the above users distinctions in consideration and the functionalities are divided based on the user profile.

Please also consult the Rules of conduct before contributing to the different medias.
